I love this show. A total classic. Yes, it's all over the place BUT it is executed so well that it's a show that is hard not to like. The characters are funny and lovable and the show plays out well. 'No Game No Life' reminds me of this tonally. Definitely give it a chance!

Jubei-chan is all over the place. The shows jumps from moments of slapstick comedy, serious action, and heartfelt drama at the drop of a hat. If a lesser director had tried to balance all these elements it would have been a complete mess but Akitaro Daichi manages to make it all work. Jubei-chan may not be an all-time classic but it is a very strong title that really surprised me.

I see where they wanted to go with it, but it seems like two people got in a fight about how the anime should go in direction and we got a smashup of both. One side is a feudal fighter who is awesome and the other is about an ordinary girl who does ordinary girl things. Also, the heart eye patch is ridiculous. Like, who thought that would be a good idea? Probably why no one can take this seriously.

I like magical girls and I love ninjas, so one would think that Jubei Chan would be my dream anime. Unfortunately it's anything but. All the characters in the show are completely unlikeable with all the male adult characters(including her father) openly lusting after the main character, Jiyu, despite being 14 and everyone else not having much of a personality at all. And Jiyu? One of the most ...

I like magical girls and I love ninjas, so one would think that Jubei Chan would be my dream anime. Unfortunately it's anything but. All the characters in the show are completely unlikeable with all the male adult characters(including her father) openly lusting after the main character, Jiyu, despite being 14 and everyone else not having much of a personality at all. And Jiyu? One of the most reprehensible 'heroes' I've ever seen who refuses to ever use her power despite people crying out for her to save them and who would gladly hand over the macguffin, an eyepatch that gives it's wearer immense power, to the villain simply because she doesn't want to deal with it even when he makes it clear that he'll use it to rule the world.

There's very little to recommend about the series. The jokes aren't funny the animation is poor and the story is a slog to get through. If you really need your magical girl and ninja fix I just recommend watching an episode of Sailor Moon followed by a viewing of Ninja Scroll. Otherwise stay very, very far away.

this old school anime is just a series of cheep boob jokes. the action is well done but 2min of visually stimulating scenes per episode can not make up the 18 min of cheep not funny jokes. The unwilling protagonist is use more like an object then a person. the focus is more on how other think of her based on her looks alone. the male characters treat her like the imagined version of person. They ...

this old school anime is just a series of cheep boob jokes. the action is well done but 2min of visually stimulating scenes per episode can not make up the 18 min of cheep not funny jokes. The unwilling protagonist is use more like an object then a person. the focus is more on how other think of her based on her looks alone. the male characters treat her like the imagined version of person. They clearly have never met this person, yet act as if they know best for her. even when she clearly states her wishes she is quickly disregarded and is forced to do as other have told her.

This is the fast food version of anime. its fast, poor quality, and forgettable. if you are a 14 year old boy looking for a cheep laugh I recommend this other wise don't waist your time.

I'm so happy that Crunchyrol decided to stream one of my favorite childhood animes of all time. Jubei chan follow the story Jiyu a 14-year-old junior high school girl attending a new school at the start of The Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch.

When she dons the Heart-shaped Eyepatch, she turns into the reincarnation of Yagyu Jubei, the famed swordsman from Japan's feudal era. if you enjoy a good old anime with a good character development, Action and humor than Jubei is the anime for you (^_^)

Jiyu Nanohana is an ordinary schoolgirl until she runs across a scatterbrained 300 year old samurai who tells her that she is the reincarnation of Yagyu Jubei.
